      PEOPLE SAY I'M THE LIFE OF THE PARTY
      'COS I TELL A JOKE OR TWO   
      ALTHOUGH I MIGHT BE LAUGHIN' LOUD AND HEARTY
      DEEP INSIDE I'M BLUE

      SO TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT MY FACE  
      YOU'LL SEE MY SMILE LOOKS OUT OF PLACE
      IF YOU LOOK CLOSER IT'S EASY TO TRACE
      THE TRACKS OF MY TEARS
      I NEED YOU, (need you)  I NEED YOU, (need you)
        
      SINCE YOU LEFT ME IF YOU SEE ME WITH ANOTHER GIRL
      SEEMIN' LIKE I'M HAVIN' FUN
      ALTHOUGH SHE MAY BE CUTE, SHE'S JUST A SUBSTITUTE
      'COS YOU'RE THE PERMANENT ONE

      SO TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT MY FACE    
      YOU'LL SEE MY SMILE LOOKS OUT OF PLACE
      IF YOU LOOK CLOSER IT'S EASY TO TRACE
      THE TRACKS OF MY TEARS
      I NEED YOU, (need you)  I NEED YOU, (need you)
        
      HEY, HEY YEAH                (I'm sad)
      I'M MASQUERADING             (inside)
      MY HOPE IS FADING            (just a clown)
      YEH, SINCE YOU PUT ME DOWN    
      MY SMILE IS MY MAKE-UP I WEAR SINCE MY BREAK-UP WITH YOU
